Tin Lizzy

Some days getting Trillian to connect through HTTP-Tunnel to AIM, MSN, and YAHOO is like crank-starting a problematic Model T. You crank and crank and eventually it's up and running... sometimes. Today is one of those other times when things just aren't working.

[ TRIVIA: Estimated fuel economy of a stock Ford Model T was ~25 miles/gallon (~9.4 litres/100km). That's better than many cars today! And the engine could run on either gasoline or ethanol. Talk about one step forward, two steps back. ]
